A Glimpse into a Mother's Grief One-third of United States soldiers killed in the Great War remain buried in Europe. Families of the fallen believed their final resting place should be among their comrades. In 1929 the United States government agreed to pay the expenses of mothers to visit their sons’ graves in France and Belgium. This was part of the Gold Star Mothers Pilgrimages initiative.

‘If We Went, We’d All Go Together’ Fifty years after the Gallipoli landing, ANZAC veteran Frank Brent could still recall—vividly and emotionally—why mateship mattered so deeply in the trenches. At first light on 25 April 1915, Brent came ashore with the 6th Battalion, pushing up the steep slopes of Gallipoli under fire. Every leader had drilled one message into the troops: ‘Keep going at all costs! Go as fast as you can … others will be sent on after you.’ Brent reached the first ridge, but by l

The Great War: 20 Years After In the book, ‘Twenty Years After’ Major General Ernest Swinton captured ‘Then and Now’ photographs of significant Great War landmarks that many veterans of the Western Front could recognise. According to Swinton, time had worked its changes. ‘Young trees are everywhere, and the desolate waste of shell-hole and mud has given way to pasture land and waving corn.’ His book remains an enduring memory of well-renowned locations. ❤️SUBSCRIBE, LIKE or FOLLOW for all my sto

The cinematic realism of ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’. Up to 1928, traditional war novels glorified heroism and patriotism, whereas Erich Maria Remarque’s novel presented the grim reality of warfare. The first 1930 movie adaptation was a faithful representation of Remarque’s novel. Without AI or computer generated graphics, the movie’s battlefield scenes remain the most vivid ever produced.

‘Answers beyond the Grave’ Florence Billington never forgot her fiancée Ted, who was killed in the Great War. She vividly recalled Ted coming to her in spirit. After the Great War, many families, turned to spiritualism in an attempt to continue their bond with their missing loved ones. Spiritualism's most fervent advocate, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the Scottish creator of Sherlock Holmes, toured the empire in 1920 to promote its virtues. Doyle believed that a tremendous question had to be answered

ANZAC veteran Frank Brent could still recall—vividly and emotionally - fifty years after the Gallipoli landing, those first hours on the peninsular’s ridges. At first light on 25 April 1915, Brent came ashore with the 6th Battalion, pushing up the steep slopes of Gallipoli under fire. Every leader had drilled one message into the troops: ‘Keep going at all costs! Go as fast as you can … others will be sent on after you.’ Brent reached the first ridge, but by late morning, men were falling back f

Cherished Fragments of a Past Life While researching history, I often wonder: what fragments of our lives will remain a century after we are gone? Perhaps a faded photograph, a well-worn letter, or some other keepsake carefully preserved in a drawer. Or will time erase us entirely, leaving not even a whisper of who we were? These sepia photographs and faded postcards keep the memories of past lives alive. For ageing veterans, they stirred half-forgotten recollections; for families, they are trea

Every Name Finds the Light At the end of the Great War, the British Empire embarked on what was reputedly the largest building program since the Pharaohs built the pyramids, to commemorate its dead and missing. It produced an extraordinary legacy: miles of uniform headstones, acres of cemeteries, and endless memorials built of Portland stone. But the Great War did not become the ‘War to End All Wars.’ The carving of names into Portland stone never stopped. New conflicts have continued to claim l
